Ralph Vaughan Williams – Lord! Come Away! Lyrics
Artist: Ralph Vaughan Williams
Song: Lord! Come Away!
Lord! come away!
Why dost Thou stay?
Thy road is ready; and Thy paths, made straight
With longing expectation, wait
The consecration of Thy beauteous feet!
Ride on triumphantly!
Behold we lay our lusts and proud wills in Thy way!
Hosanna! Welcome to our hearts! Lord, here
Thou hast a temple too; and full as dear
Nothing but thieves and robbers dwell therein;
Enter, and chase them forth, and cleanse the floor!
Crucify them, that they may never more
Profane that holy place
Where Thou hast chose to set Thy face!
And then, if our stiff toungues shall be
Mute in the praises of Thy Deity
The stones out of the temple wall
Shall cry aloud and call
“Hosanna!” and Thy glorious footsteps greet!
